Every action...
In the digital age, you can seal your fate with the click of a button.
Events which occured hundreds of years ago have put me where I am today. Have put you where you are today. The advantages and disadvantages given to you and me at birth were determined way before we were conceived.
An idea turned the fate of this nation. A plane destroyed years of security and well-being.

A person is reduced to a statistic.

Are you a number? Or is your life worth more...
Spiraling
It starts out small; little things that work their way in and begin to jab, to hurt. And my stupid, obsessive brain begins to cycle those little things through, round and around, and those little things get bigger and they consume my thoughts until there is such a noise that I can't hear anything new, anything good.

There's so much life to live while your waiting for something to take place. And, who knows, maybe while your waiting to get married or waiting for the perfect job to come along, you'll realize that thing you've been waiting for is not what you...
Lessons
There are a lot of things I don't like about our apartment. However, there are things to appreciate. Like one of my neighbors. I've never met her formally, but I have considered sticking my head out the door a few times to tell her she has one of the most awesome voices I've ever heard. She sings as she exits and enters the apartment structure, and her voice echoes throughout the courtyard with so much soul and power it makes me want to cry. It reminds me that, however harsh this city and its people can be, there is beauty in everyone. It's harder to see in some than in others, but...
